^a Four significant background variables (age, marital status, personal monthly income, and age of first homosexual intercourse) were forced entered in the first step, then six variables (overall disclosure of sexual orientation to health professionals, HIV literacy scale, HIV disclosure scale to sexual partners, PrEP awareness scale, PrEP acceptability scale, and perceived adherence to PrEP scale) were put in the multivariate model. The Forward Stepwise (Wald) Method ((Entry: p < 0.05, exclude: p > 0.10)) was used to select variables in this model;
^b Four variabls (including PrEP awareness scale, PrEP acceptability scale, efficacy scale of keeping adherence to PrEP, and perceived benefits of PrEP in reducing condom use) were put in the multivariate model, and the Forward Stepwise (Wald) Method ((Entry: p < 0.05, exclude: p > 0.10)) was used to select variables in this model;
